Sie,—lll this moraine's issue of tho Times, ' both'in the report olj Father Hays's mission .at Mosgiel and in your editorial, a «ontrast is" drawn between Father Hays and. the" prohibition lecturer. You speak of the orthodox violent of language apparently necessary to the equipment of a prohibition lecturer.• Then, in - the'.same report, the. rev. gentleman is quoted as saying that ,he.had turned,his back upon his friends' that were engaged in the liquor traffic because ho would not be a. traitor to his duty.;- Sir,- has anything stronger than this been said? ' Surely to count'a.man unfit: to. b«- & frioml is a; strong condemnation. Again, ..reading. your editorial one would, almost think that Father Hiys was oppos«l to no-license, -instead of; which he has- publicly expressed his approval • of. legislation which gives thc : oeo'plo: the right to decido' this ouestion. : (See Father Hays's Ballarat Temperance .people everywhere 1 ' rejoice over the work done by Father Hays: but "ivhv belittle the efforts' of our own workers?—l any etc., - Consistent; Woods' ' Great .'
